Web Site Provides Concrete Information Homeowners Can UseTools for finding a local contractor, designing decorative concrete among the offeringsYucaipa, CA January 14, 2003- Today's homeowners are confronted by innumerable sources of information when planning renovations or building a new home. To make the process easier, ConcreteNetwork.com has assembled all the resources homeowners need when making a concrete decision for their home. The same tools, plus more technical features, also make it easier for builders and architects to design and specify concrete in residential applications—and to identify the hottest concrete trends consumers are demanding. For example, the "Find a Contractor" feature makes it easy to search for a local concrete contractor by state, city and service desired. Hundreds of contractors in 164 U.S. metro areas are accessible through a simple search, covering 58 types of services and products—and new contractors are added all the time. Another feature inspiring creative possibilities for homeowners is the "Concrete Design Center," where Jeanine Laiza, Allied ASID, IIDA, creates room designs incorporating the latest trends in decorative concrete, including stamping, acid-etch staining, and concrete countertops. Not only can homeowners print the designs to show their contractors, but also builders and architects can use them to gain inspiration. In the past year, the site has seen a substantial escalation in traffic, says ConcreteNetwork.com President Jim Peterson. "On an average day, we host between 6,000 and 8,000 visitors, who stay for just under nine minutes," he says. The site also offers hundreds of articles covering popular topics like stamped concrete, concrete countertops, acid-etch staining, decorative interior floors, concrete homes, foundation repair, etc. "People are smart—they know what they want, and they want it fast," says Peterson. "We keep it simple but substantive with solid concrete information and local resources for concrete construction services and products. That's what keeps people coming back to our site." Started in 1999, ConcreteNetwork.com is a Web site for anyone interested in the many facets of the concrete industry.
